    I also learned a while back to use a 14 topstitch needle. That works for my machine quite well. Now if it could perform miracles on my FMQ, I would be all set! lol I'm glad you found some solutions to your problems. I know how frustrating it can be. Now you can have some fun!

    Pivot height was a game changer for me. FMQ is a lot of fun when it all comes together!

    I just wish the 'aha" moments didn't take so long to surface in my case!
